A Year of Celebration

Each year, we inspire and delight more than 1.2 million visitors, thanks, in large part, to the enthusiasm and dedication of our volunteers. In 2013, we celebrated the work of these amazing individuals including members of The Children’s Museum Guild, who enjoyed record attendance at the annual Haunted House, and all the volunteers who worked both behind the scenes and with visitors to contribute more than 57,000 service hours valued at more than $1.27 million!

Our valued volunteers work with visitors and staff to help make the museum a place respected worldwide. This past year, 600 active volunteers contributed an extraordinary 68,531 hours valued at $1.53 million.

In 2013 the museum’s award-winning internship program hosted 52 young people who worked on special projects in departments ranging from human resources to exhibit development, and from marketing to digital media.
